Fried Chicken

Who can resist fried chicken? This all-American favorite of juicy meat beneath a crackly golden crust is simple to make at home. Our tutorials and recipes will guarantee your home-cooked fried chicken will be the best you've ever tasted.

Jicama, a type of root vegetable, makes a great stand-in for more traditional water chestnuts, giving the dish a nice crunchy element. Eat this dish on its own or with a little steamed brown rice.

The secret to moist fried chicken is maintaining the correct oil temperature throughout the process. If it's too low, the chicken will be greasy and soggy, and if it's too high, the coating will burn before the chicken is cooked through.
